After a lifechanging decision I wondered If I should continue with my calling for photography. The anxiety of meeting the regular people- DJ’s, masters of ceremonies, the caterers and the feeling that I wouldn’t sustain caught up with me pretty often, but getting to a full time day job wasn’t too appealing and nor did I want to second shoot for anyone at that stage although it was really tempting with the kind of offers I was being given during that time… And I found my answers to all of this when my old clients and friends got the word spreading around regarding my work which in turn gave me the necessary push and the courage to start everything once again from scratch and thus KarenLisaStudio was shaped..
Why I call photography my calling?
It makes me feel like I’m creating a piece of history with every photograph I take knowing it will actually will go down for generations to come in a family..
Be it documenting a wedding, a maternity shoot, a child birth or even a small house party everything freezes in time and its what I enjoy the most witnessing love and people all the time.
An artist’s creation when I shoot products, a chef’s years of practice when I shoot food, people and their connections and their passion for what they do for a living, the services they offer and in the process the joy they bring to someone else – what a way to make a living documenting all of this.
As I write this I realise I got a rather big smile across my face and it is usually the same feeling when I’m behind the viewfinder looking at whats unfolding in front of me that makes my heart fill with joy.
